Boris Kodjoe says his wife of nearly eight years, the beautiful Nicole Ari Parker, has to keep it right and tight.

The actor caught up with Cocoa Fab at the press junket for Baggage Claim, and he said weight gain would be a major deal breaker in his relationship.

“Ok part of the deal is, you got to keep it sexy. Got to keep it hot because it’s easy getting married, but it’s not as easy to stay married,” he explained. “Part of that is, like, I make my wife, my girlfriend. She’s my girlfriend. So, we got to keep it sexy. If we keep it sexy, we keep it right, everything else falls into place.”

The model went to say that it’s a partner’s responsibility to “fulfill those things that the market” may offer.

“I’m the market now, so I got to keep it hot and she has to do the same for me,” he said.
